New Mobile Projector for Playstation Revealed

Gamescom is one of those events I've been hoping would reveal some news, and it looks like we have a public (or semi-public) appearance of SONY's MPCL1.

The MPCL1 has been confirmed to be a MicroVision enabled device, affirmed to be released this fall by SONY, but has not had the big announcement, yet.

This relates well with something that came across my searching recently: SONY touting a smaller, lighter PS4. People may care about a console's size when they put it in their home, but they don't care about its weight unless it's portable. So I'm expecting SONY to push portability in game consoles, and a projector like this would be essential to truly portable gaming.

Sony recently revealed a companion accessory for the PlayStation 4 console at a media event. We got a chance to get our hands on their upcoming mobile projector, which ran a demo of the PlayStation 4 exclusive game, Until Dawn.
